About this listen

Enter the world of the Pendleton: The original owner became a recluse - and was rumored to be more than half mad - after his wife and two children were kidnapped in 1896 and never found. The second owner suffered a worse tragedy in 1935, when his house manager murdered him, his family, and the entire live-in staff....

Craftsmen and laborers working on renovations disappear or go mad....

For years, the Pendleton is a happy place, until a bad turn comes again....

Voices in unknown languages are heard in deserted rooms, everywhere and nowhere....

Disturbing shadows move along walls but have no source....

Images on security monitors show strange places that exist nowhere in the building or its grounds....

A young boy talks of an imaginary playmate - who turns out to be terrifyingly real....

A figure like a man but clearly inhuman is glimpsed in the courtyard gardens at night and in other locales, perhaps a hoaxer of some kind, seemingly oblivious of those who see it - until it suddenly takes an interest in one of them....

I really enjoyed this from start to finish. The narrator used his considerable skill to have me believe more than one person was telling the story and the story itself was Fresh and quick.

A riveting story

I find Dean Koontz to be a bit hit or miss. Watchers, for example, was amazing. Life Expectancy, on the other hand, was likely the worst book I have encountered. 77 Shadow Street was somewhere in between the two. While character development is generally a good thing, Koontz spends so much time addressing irrelevant idiosyncrasies of the various characters, that it impedes the flow of the story and sometimes boarders on just being annoying. Pluses - The narrator was quite good and the imagery used in the book enabled me to really "see" the Pendleton and the creatures in the story. This, unfortunately was not enough to overcome the fact that the book really seemed to drag along from unnecessary fact to unnecessary fact, with a bit of disconnected story in-between. By the end, I was just finishing the book so that I could be done with it, instead of actually caring about the conclusion (sort of like finishing a meal to clean your plate, even though you didn't much enjoy the food . . .).

Meh.
